TRAIN THE TRAINER
PROGRAMME
EQUIPPING TRAINERS TO LEAD IN EMPLOYABILITY TRAINING
The Facework Train the Trainer Programme builds the capacity of those who are using Facework resources to develop the employability skills of young people.
Participants on the programme may be teachers/educators with a background in learning or maybe inexperienced volunteers keen to play a role. With this in mind, the programme is structured around a flexible set of Modules and Units, with some participants taking all modules/units and others only those that they need and that address the gaps in their capacity.
We are happy to train anyone who has a passion for helping young people Face Work and knows that this initial training may inspire participants to take up further training in the careers profession. However, those who attend the training must have experience of being employed and/or self-employed and must have some experience in presentation or teaching groups of individuals.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
– Benjamin Franklin
